Joint compound over paint?
The paint on my bathroom ceiling is cracking and flaking from the
humidity when showering(no ventilation, need to install a fan). Will it be OK if I scrape all the flaky stuff off, degloss the paint that still adheres good, apply mud, sand it, then paint? TIA Matt Mika |

yeah that works, refinished most of my home that way, use drywall mud.
after scraping and cleaning give room a coat of BIN or Kilz, that gets better adhesion |

TIA Matt Mika fix the humidity problem before you start remodeling or your just asking to revisit the problem later |
